Wireless Settings 37 The DHCP Clients List provides details on the devices that are connected to the LAN. The list is only created when the Access Point is set up as a DHCP server. For each device that is connected to the LAN, the IP address, Host Name, MAC address and Client Type of that device is displayed. As you connect more devices, the client list will grow to a maximum number of clients. The Release button allows the lease time for the IP address that has been issued to a device to be cleared. The lease time is set at 12 hours. If a PC has been switched off, using the Release button would allow the 12 hour lease time to be cleared. The IP address would then be available for another device if there were no other IP addresses available. As the IP address is fixed to a MAC address, then each particular computer will normally be issued with the same IP address. The only time that a PC will get a different IP address is if the DHCP server has run out of IP addresses. Wireless Settings To improve the security of your wireless network, 3Com recommends that you: 1. Change the SSID from its default value - see page 39 2. Enable Encryption - see page 40 3.
